HAIL MEMORY OF FALL OF BASTILE IN FREEDOM FIGHT Birth of French Republic Woven Into Patriotic Festival by Columbus Knights. STIRRING TALKS IN PARK Thirty thousand cheering men and women rose in Prospect Park yesterday afternoon and welcomed Sergeant William A. Blake of the United States Marines, one of the first American fighting men to go "over the top" a year, ago. celebration, held under the auspices of the War Camp Activities Committee, Long Island Chapter, Knights of Columbus, was in commemoration of the fall of the Bastile on July 14, 1789, and the birth of the French Republe. The speakers were Captain Robert Cahen Danvers of French High Commission, Acting Borough PresiTheo dent Joseph Guider, County Clerk William E.

Kelly, Park Commissioner John N. Harman and the Right Rev. Mons. Edward W. McCarty.

Although his name did not appear upon the program, Sergeant Blake delivered a personal message and received the most spontaneous ovation from the multitude. Preceding the exercises at the music stand a parade was held, in which French and American' sailors, State guardsmen, police, Red Cross girls and members of the order joined. As the French sailors passed the reviewing stand they were showered with flowers by hundreds of Red Cross girls. A wreath was placed upon the Lafayette statue at the entrance to the Park by Mons. McCarty.

Sergeant Blake, a splendid 6-foot specimen of American fighting man, told how when went to France a year ago with 250. of his comrades in the American Marines they were placed in the front line trenches with French soldiers as instructors. One night the 300 men were suddenly attacked by a force of 1,000 Germans. "Before we realized what had happened, however," said Sergeant Blake, Germans lay dead and the other 300 were scurrying back to their trenches like rats. "Our boys, with their backs against the walls the trenches, are determined to get that damnable Kaiser, but to do it we must have the full co-operation of you folks back home." Music was furnished by the Brooklyn Navy Yard Band, under Bandmaster Fitchelberg, St.

Vincent's Band, and the Forty-seventh Regiment Band. Vocal selections were given by the Police Department Glee Club. Park Commissioner Harman, who presided, said in part: "What the Fourth of July is to freedom-loving people of America. the Fourteenth of July is to the freedomloving people of France. On 14, 1789, the people of our gallant ally, France, asserted the same principles that America asserted on July 4, 1776.

"The Bastile was the cruel instrument and the hoary monument of despotism, a symbol of subjection. "More than a building fell when the Bastile fell. The superstitions of men fell with it. America, too, had a part in felling it. The shots of Lexington, heard 'round the world, played their part in the great event.

"Today the great black. Bastile of Kaiserism erects itself again to beat back time and restore slavery in the world. And Bastile Day and Independence Day become common holidays of the two republics in whose celebration all the free peoples of the world join as, with irresistible power, the ideal instinct in both sweeps on with bayonets and cannon to batter down the new Bastile." Acting Borough President Guider said in part: "The Bastile for centuries had stood as the symbol of royal oppression. Through all this present war France has remained the barrier between German autocracy and a free democracy. It will be the proudest moment in American history when we can say in France's darkest hour we were at her side.

"The France which sent her choicest sons to America when our birth of freedom came is the same France which today is holding back the Huns at the Marne. We of Brooklyn are proud today to join France in honoring the birthday of her independence." County Clerk Kelly discussed the war activities of the Knights Columbus. He declared that $7,000,000 had already been expended the erection of huts, ten tons of chocolates, and 50,000,000 cigarettes have been sent to the boys at the front. There are 40,000 members of the order in the military service, he said. "Regardless of the fact that we have over one million men at the front." said the County Clerk, "that on July 4 we launched 100 ships, that every industry is working night and day for our country, America is determined that the Monster of Berlin shall yet live to curse the day 'he was Captain Danvers, of the French Army, described the incidents leading up to the destruction Bastile.

Benediction was pronounced by Mons. McCarty. The grand marshal of the parade was General John G. Eddy. His staff included: Major Ernest G.

The resolution adopted read in part: "Resolved.

President William A. Mosscrop presided over the meeting.

It was voted to send a message of sympathy to Mrs. Mitchel, widow of the former Mayor, and Secretary Theodore W. Hanigan sent the following: "I am instructed by our president to extend to you the heartfelt sympathy of the University Club of Brooklyn for your recent great loss and bereavement. Major Mitchel, while still Mayor, was twice the guest of this club, and many of his then staunchest friends and admirers were in our membership."

NEW YORK. MONDAY, JULY 15, 1918. ASKS IMPORTERS TO GIVE SURETY Emergency Clause Provides They Must Promise to Pay Increased Taxes. MAY DROP SUGGESTIONS. Bill Will Probably Levy on Tea, Coffee, Sugar Liquor and Tobacco.

Washington, July 15-Eight billions of dollars--double the amount now yielded by present tax laws, are to be raised under the new revenue bill which the House Ways and Means Committee began framing today in executive session. It is part of the Administration's program of meeting the vastly increased expenses on account of the war, estimated at 000,000,000 during this fiscal year. The income and excess profits taxes will be levied on the basis of the calendar year 1918. The other taxes not earlier than the date of approval of the bill. Eighty per cent.

of the new revenues are planned to be produced from readjustment of the excess profits and income surtaxes and the remainder from excise taxes on luxuries, non-essentials and possibly essentials. A long list of tentative suggestions, submitted by the Treasury Department, ranging all the way from a tax on retail sales of gasoline, to a graduated tax on servants, is before the committee, but members have indicated that many of them will not be adopted. In addition to the suggestions, the committee had before it a mass of recommendations made to it by witnesses who testified during hearings on the bill which did not end until last week. Several weeks probably will be required for framing the bill, which the committee hopes to present around the middle of August. An emergency interim clause in the revenue bill whereby importers would be required to give surety to the Government to pay increased import duties should it be levied by legislation, was asked of Congress by F.

W. Taussig, Chairman the Tariff Commiesion. His request, submitted when the committee met to begin drafting the bill, anticipates a consumption tax on teas, coffee, sugar and spices generally and an increase in import duties on liquor and tobacco, and an extra tax on liquor withdrawn from bond.

Regarding the part of the West in the great war Dr. Bartlett said in part: "My trip in two' divisions -the American, in which I spoke to the boys in many camps, and the Canadian, where studied the conditions there. went to the very edge of civilization and found no flutter of the Canadian In Canada practically a all the young pulse.

"The camps are the real melting pot. Foreigners of yesterday are the Americans of today. The American spirit is everywhere, giving its best to win the war.
